We found that an antihypertensive agent, nifedipine can prevent fatal ventricular arrhythmias. Nifedipine exerts its effect by blocking L-type Ca^<2+> channels, which mediate Ca^<2+> influx into cells. In this study, we introduced genes encoding the channels into cultured cells and analyzed their function, thereby identified the mechanism by which nifedipine causes the effect to prevent fatal ventricular arrhythmias.
